Black Beauty [1994]

starring: Sean Bean, David Thewlis, Jim Carter, Peter Davison, Alun Armstrong
directed by: Caroline Thompson

Release Date August 21, 2000
I bought this for my 6 and 9 year old girls, we watched it once and they told me they never want to see it again.
They sat horror-struck at the worsening cruelty and rejection suffered by the poor horse. Me too.I kept wondering why it's hailed as a great family film when we all felt miserable by the end! Not even seeing Sean could cheer me up.
I daren't even give it to a charity shop for fear of traumatising any more kids.

From Beyond The Grave [1973]

starring: Wendy Allnutt, Rosalind Ayres, Ian Bannen, Ian Carmichael, Peter Cushing
directed by: Kevin Connor

Release Date October 15, 2007
Amicus is a film studio that made their name from making portmanteau movies such as this. That is several small morality tales with an interlinking back story. The first film they made in this style was the excellent Dr Terror's House Of Horrors, and this was their final effort, and also the best one in my opinion.
Peter Cushing plays a sinister shopkeeper of a seedy old Antiques shop,not the strongest back drop for the stories to be set. Fortunately, all the stories are so strong that this matters little.
First off we meet Edward Charlton(David Warner) who purchases a haunted mirror from the shop, the occupant of which, is very demanding. Next up, we come to hen pecked Christopher Lowe(Ian Bannen) who seeking respect outside the marital ... Read More:

Johnny Belinda [1948] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Jane Wyman, Lew Ayres, Charles Bickford, Agnes Moorehead, Stephen McNally
directed by: Jean Negulesco

Release Date January 31, 2006
Jane Wyman one the Best Actress Oscar - and rightly so too - for her sensitive and touching portrayal of a deaf mute who blossoms under the attentions of a compassionate young doctor on a Nova Scotian farm. Dealing with the themes of rape, teenage pregnancy, single-motherhood and small town intolerance, Johnny Belinda was probably quite sensational for the late 1940's, the period in which it was made.

Johnny Belinda definitely belongs to the stunning Ms. Wyman. She really manages to capture the sensitive heart and soul of Belinda. But the picture is also notable for its stunning exterior shots, the landscapes which run down to the sea's edge, village streets, fishing boats and weathered barns look as though they might be indigenous to Cape Breton Island ...
